Summary

Algonac JuniorSenior High School in Clay, MI, is a combined junior/senior high school serving 644 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Algonac Community School District, a mid-sized school that has seen its state ranking climb from the 26th to the 49th percentile over the past few years.

The most striking thing about Algonac is its exceptional student retention. The school boasts a 97.0% graduation rate—well above the state average of 84.0% and higher than nearby St Clair High School (91.8%), High School in L'Anse Creuse (93.5%), and New Haven High School (87.3%). Its dropout rate of just 1.9% is less than a third of the state average. The school also shows remarkable strength in supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for that subgroup in 2024-2025, and has shown dramatic improvement in outcomes for students from low-income families, climbing from the 36th to the 65th percentile in just two years. Per-student spending of $15,431 is higher than at Marine City High School ($14,568) and Anchor Bay High School ($13,503), suggesting a strong investment in student support.

However, there's a clear gap between keeping students in school and academic test performance. While graduation rates are stellar, proficiency in core subjects lags behind state averages—for example, SAT Math proficiency is just 8.5% compared to the state's 26.5%, and 11th-grade Social Studies is 32.6% versus 43.2% statewide. One bright spot is 8th-grade Science, where 44.6% of students are proficient, beating the state average of 39.2%. Chronic absenteeism (22.2%) is better than the state average but higher than at St. Clair (16.0%). Compared to the district's Algonac Alternative Education program—which has a 66.6% graduation rate—the main campus is clearly the driver of the district's strong completion numbers, making it a solid choice for families who value a supportive environment that keeps students on track to graduate.
